Brief video on loading the DMR Digital Contact List into the AnyTone D868/D878 Radios
Nice video. You did forget about GPS/Ranging on the Optional Setting popup. GPS and Get GPS Positioning needs to be ON, set your time zone, Distance Line set to Inch System and GPS Mode set to GPS.
Great video! I was having trouble and you explained everything so I was able to get things working properly, many thanks.
Good video. APRS is a valuable tool especially messaging features to/from phone via RF. Re-discovering APRS on UHF at 9600, local uses not on the national channel. For those in rural areas or outdoorsy people who hike, bike, kayak, skin or whatever, its a relevant comms asset.
There seems to be some controversy online whether the Digipeater Path is 'WIDE1-1WIDE2-2' or 'WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2'. ie, comma or not. Some insist it needs the comma. Some insist it's a firmware thing and needs no comma to work. Either way, all the analogue FM APRS activity near me is gone now so APRS has become redundant 😞
Enjoyed the video on APRS a lot. I am learning about my new D878. One point though: Your explanation of location longitude seems backwards to me. In the USA we are in the western hemisphere. Should we really put 'E' in the hemisphere field?
i have to go back and study the video i cant seem to get it to work for me i must be missing something probley something really easey too ;(
damn followed everything here still not getting aprs to work on my 878
I have an 878 Plus (not the UVII radio). I have running the latest CPs and firmware on the radio. I do not however see the options to the right of the APRS Analog section. Are these from the 878UVII or possible the 578 radio CPS?
Confusing as all heck. I have no idea why APRS settings has "multiple" APRS upload frequencies. Newer CPS has 8 of them!! why? EVERY single video except yours does not have these and shows older CPS versions that only has ONE APRS upload frequency. NOBODY explains why to create an APRS RX only channel and why it is needed or how to use it. and WHY you can't set up APRS RX on it. What if I just want to watch stuff and transmit too? All very confusing.
Thank you so much. I was beating my head against the proverbial wall trying to figure this out. I didn''t think you could send analog APRS beacon on digital channels.
Duane, any chance for an analog APRS receive for SMS (not beaconing!) video? Receiving beacons works fine in my 578 Plus, but it's super sketchy on Rx from cell phones and other radios. Again, texting NOT beaconing. Thanks and 73
Hi Jon, Sorry to say that the Analog SMS is not in my wheel house. I have found it to be unstable.
@@N6DMR_Duane Thanks for the candor. Any plans for our AT friends to fix it?
@@JonW7SEA It is not a radio issue, it is Brandmeister system issue
I was actually referring to analog SMS.
you don't want a "- anything" on the TOCALL SSID leave it zero and your "Device" will show "Device: Anytone: AT-D578 (rig)" or 878 respectivly. If I had the -1 on there the device wasn't populated.
Interesting,I have used 1 as the SSID on TOCALL and always had the device show when searching and putting the Call Sign SSID in as part of your call sign. So leaving TOCALL blank posts the radio source.
maybe it's some sort of digipeater setting how it handles it?? interesting for sure!
Thanks for the very informative Video, thanks for doing this for us.
Pretty good tutorial. The only thing I can add is that the digital APRS must be set up in the brandmeister self-care. The digital mode won't take any information from the analog sections of the CPS. Also, I made the mistake of putting a space after the comma in the path elements of the analog section. It took me a while to figure that out. I don't think a special channel needs to be set up for APRS. APRS can be made to work on any normally programmed channel. Good luck with your channel.
should there be a space after the comma or none?
Does this also provide Analog APRS?
Hi Travis, No this is just adding a BT MOdule. APRS has a updated module and update BT FW, I have not seen any updated modules being available. Sorry
After this Work, what Firmware is too use?? The 878uvII or the Original 878UV ??
Sorry for the late reply. You would use the same FW that is in your radio currently, this is not a hardware update, just adding a module
Thanks for this video. I was working on this very thing earlier today trying to figure this out. I wish I had seen your video sooner.
Hi do you have the firmware update process for the blue tooth anytone 878uv11 -Thanks
I have a AT-D878uv with what I believe is a bad speaker. The external speaker mic works and the data cable work fine. Has anyone changed a speaker? From this video I can't what the speaker connections are.
I am reading about a mod to change the 878uvplus Bluetooth board to the one used on the 878uv2 to allow for APRS text receive. The board is available for purchase on a particular site. They use I believe this video or a similar video to describe how to get to the Bluetooth board.
He very diligently pretends that he is very neat and smart, especially funny he uses tweezers with the same mounting bolts.
All the software I have seen for this radio is Windows-based is there anything Lenix out there? I am blind and my friend is using Lenix so I’m doing the best I can and try to be helpful! Any ideas?
Thanks for the video. I am not going to even attempt this. Every time I attempt to dissemble electronics that are so tightly put together, I never can get them back together properly or I break something in the process. If I am going to wreck my current radio attempting to upgrade it, might as just buy the new upgraded radio one without wrecking the old one. :)
Thank you. This fixed a problem with CSV Inports
Very helpful, I'm sorry it took me so ling t find this video series.
informative video . thank you
Very nice instructions. Thank you!
I get an import file error 15 when I tried this, however it looks like all the contacts were loaded into the program.
Hey Duane - can you advise where I can get hold of a codeplug for the Anytone 878UVPlus please? Can't seem to find one anywhere? Thanks in advance. Great informative video which I will follow as soon as I can get a codeplug and load it up!
Does anyone know what size the two retaining screws are at 1:12. I've been thru all my allen and torx bits and none of them fit.

Seem another video today I was considering radio but someone thought they would make 220 mhz on this radio 50 watts not just 10 watts ? I'll need 25 w make to closest repeaters but still probly worth buying but save some $ with the non gps model will be fine. Full duplex finally on a dmr radio! Get a working S/RF meter and it be a sale out! Good run down on radio video here .😎
I received my 578 and so far I am not very happy with it. After seeing your video about the Dual Recieve and seeing there are two separate speaker ports on the back of the radio I thought this would be the perfect replacement for having two separate radios in my vehicle, however this does not seem to be the case. On my 578, even though there are two separate external speaker ports, only one of them works. The sound from both VFO A and VFO B come out of the same speaker port. Did I somehow get a dud, or is the second speaker port just a fantasy item for looks?
I’ve got my 578 installed in my car and I’m loving it. It’s a great radio. I’ve been making videos over on my channel about it.
When you update the Contact list does it delete the previous and add to it the new? Do you end up with duplicates?
I set my 878uv plus to have the GPS set my date and time after I set the -5 hours. I think this will keep it updated, I will need to change for Daylight saving time.
Excellent presentation Duane. This gave me a much better understanding on how to manage the Anytone AT-868UV plus. While I wait for my transceiver to arrive I will go through all of your videos several times and hopefully do all of the updates and get on the air soon via my hotspot. Thank you again for a great video. Vy 73 de Ekendra 4S7EF
Very well presented. THANK YOU Duane. I have still not got my Anytone AI-878UV Plus is my hands but when I do I will go through your excellent easy-to-understand video clips. 73 de Ekendra 4S7EF
I pre-ordered one, but am still waiting for it to arrive. I can't wait to add this new addition to my radio family.
Ordered the package with the DV Hotspot - showed up without even a manual! ZERO help from their support. It's all going back tomorrow. You'd be better off sending your messages by carrier pigeon.
Wow, the entire video is about where to find the manual and instructions. Sorry you missed all of the information. Sincerely wish you good luck going forward with your next DMR purchase. It is a great mode of operation in my opinion.
Duane - where can you purchase the mat that is used in the video?
Amazon smile.amazon.com/Kaisi-Insulation-Silicone-Position-Soldering/dp/B07DGVJ17H
A most instructive and useful video, clearly explaining the process, many thanks Duane.
I’ve got one on order. Can’t wait till it arrives. Thanks for the peak under the hood. KS4QF
..is it possible to use the Codeplug from the Anytone D-868-UV / 878-UV?
Yes, the D878;code plug is a direct load. The D868 you will need to use the Tools -> Export All / Import All functions to get your data into the mobile. One issue is with different Bands. If your D878 radio Band does not match your mobile radio Band you will get a Band error.
Hi, I get mine today. Where do you find the CPS and drivers for programming please ?
From your dealer.
Thanks, I got it from my dealer but I need to let you know that Anytone sold the D578UV in Europe past week without CPS, so my dealer aks the manufacturer and he sent me a beta version. And that's works... for the moment.
Yan 33 Everything is still in beta
Looks like a alinco lol
Looking very promising... can't wait for its release.
Out of curiosity, can DTMF tones be used as DMR call tones (the ones which tell you that the channel is idle and digital radio things like that, basically) with these radios?
Thanks.., Please, Make more videos for the AT-D878UV
Thank You. . . But now I can't sleep. already missed afternoon nap ; )
